2013 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · FE13 LRV

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT test in March 2026 at 56,970 miles which passed with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend suggests a consistent approach to basic upkeep, as the car has avoided major mechanical failures over the last several years. The absence of failures in the latest inspection indicates that the mechanical and structural components currently meet the minimum legal standards for road use. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 56,970 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,382 miles per year. The data shows a steady usage pattern with intervals of roughly 2,500 to 3,000 miles between the annual MOT tests. This low annual mileage generally implies less mechanical wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and suspension assembly. However, the infrequent use often leads to issues with rubber-based components that degrade due to time rather than distance driven. A buyer should specifically inspect the condition of the tyres, as the record shows a history of age-related wear. The March 2023 test flagged front tyres worn to the legal limit, and the March 2025 test identified perishing and cracking on both rear tyres. These findings are typical of a vehicle that sits for long periods, causing the rubber compound to dry out and crack despite having tread depth. A physical inspection of the brake discs and suspension bushings is also necessary, as low-mileage vehicles can suffer from surface corrosion or seized calipers if not used regularly.
